I had a great stay here. The front desk staff were especially friendly and helpful, and found me an available room to check in early (for a very reasonable fee), which was much appreciated after a long overnight flight! The room was small but fine for one person, and everything was clean. The location is really convenient, so close to train and underground stations.

The hotel is extremely convenient for St Pancras and Eurostar. The staff are very helpful. Only negative is what I think must be noise from trains. We had a room on the ground floor and there was a strange rumbling sound every few seconds which, thankfully, stopped overnight

Despite the small hallways and weird little staircases, this hotel is located in a super convenient place right next to King’s Cross train station. It was relatively quiet as the trains don’t run all night. They have complementary body wash in the shower but no shampoo or conditioner so BYO. There was a kettle and coffee/tea in the room and the bed was very comfy. Tye ensuite was cramped but had all the necessities and everything was working. It’s very basic but very convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

I had one night in London before jumping on a train so this was an ideal location. The room was small but similar to other hotels of similar price and rating. The bed was comfortable and clean. Some noise from people upstairs and from nearby trains. My one complaint is the shower drain seemed quite backed up. Almost overflowing by the end of my shower. Overall good value.

We booked this hotel because of its proximity to the Eurostar. The room was tiny and would only be suitable for 1night stays. Narrow stairs leading to 1st and 2nd floor rooms. Great location.
